It was about time that Valentino Khan and Diplo join forces — and today is the day!
“JustYourSoul” just dropped, pumping out a perfect blend of each master producer’s distinct style. Each with their own vast soundscapes, they really could have gone anywhere with their collab. They settled on a smooth, tasteful groove that begs, “baby, just your soul.” That’s not so much to ask.
Khan recalls how the track came to be: “So @diplo and I were hang

Good things come in remixed packages. Today Illenium presents Tiësto‘s big room remix for one of his finest recent tracks — and we can’t get enough!
“Good Things Fall Apart” featuring Jon Bellion is transformed from an emotional, bass-driven ballad into a grand production fit for the main stage. Of course, all the emotion is still attached and takes on new life through magnificent synths and a booming beat to bounce to.
Tiësto’s signature

Wave Racer continues his comeback with a new single called “Summer Rain” with Kwame.
“Summer Rain” follows up his most recent single released earlier this year, “AUTO.” It features vocals from Kwame, who keeps up with Wave Racer’s innocent, plucky, and fun production. The whole composition is like a breath of fresh air that infects everything it touches with good vibes.
There’s way more to come in 2019 and beyond so stay tuned. Listen to “Su

Trying to describe the music of G Jones or Eprom is like trying to describe color to the blind. It’s impossibly difficult to understand unless you experience it for yourself. In 2017, the two defied all odds when they teamed up for “Hysteria.” Now, they’ve done it again with their new collaboration, “Daemon Veil.”
For G Jones, this is his first track since he released his debut album The Ineffable Truth last year. For Eprom, this is the second single fro

Ask any wide-eyed raver wearing kandi at EDC what PLUR stands for and they can probably tell you: Peace, Love, Unity, Respect. But ask them where and when the term originated? Not likely. There’s a history to dance music that is often lost in the new zeitgeist of playlists, branding, and streaming numbers, and techno pioneer Jeff Mills believes electronic music has “lost its political edge.”
“Music, especially dance music, used to be more political. The make up of the pe

As music journalists, curators, bloggers, whatever you want to call us, a lot of our time is taken up by emails and press releases and New Music Friday. Years ago, it used to be that bloggers were gatekeepers and curators of good music, and a lot of that has been lost these days. But sometimes, you need to follow your instincts and go down a rabbit hole and discover something new.

After years of music and touring, Ekali is finally preparing to release his debut album, and the lead single is out today, “Runaway” feat. Reo Cragun.
Reo Cragun was most recently featured on Flume’s single “Friends,” making his feature on Ekali’s debut album single all the more impressive. “Runaway” also shares some similarities with Flume’s music, though that’s purely coincidental. The single is deeply emotional and shows a different

A startling account has surfaced from a woman who claims she was “humiliated” during a strip search at Knockout Circuz in 2017.
Before the NSW Coroners Court, the young, unnamed woman described how the heavy security made her feel “like a criminal.” She recalled being escorted though the crowd after a drug dog went off on her. What happened next was a full on strip search, which she described in detail as an “unpleasant experience.”
“Everyone was s

Before Ed Sheeran was signed in 2011 to Asylum Records, he made an EP called No.5 Collaborations Project with Wiley, Devlin, P Money, Ghetts and Jme — no small names in grime. Now, 8 years later, he’s followed it up with No.6 Collaborations Project and way bigger friends. The new album out today features the likes of Stormzy, Camila Cabello, Cardi B, Justin Bieber, Eminem & 50 Cent, and more.
For our purposes, we’re going to focus on the Skrillex collaboration, “Way

The UK D&B producer Upgrade is firmly on the rise. He appeared on RAM Records back in 2015 and 2016 and now makes a triumphant return with his latest dance floor cut ‘Won’t Hold Back.’ Having honed his sound over the past couple of years, this is about to take his work to a whole new audience.
Upgrade brings his own vocals in the mix, drawing out melodies with a jazz-influenced groove and upping the tempo with a series of building drums. Speaking on this important release,

Keys N Krates dropped their debut album just over a year ago, and yet it feels like forever since we’ve heard from the Toronto three-piece ensemble. following a Live In Toronto album at the end of the year, they’re back now with a 24-minute, 11-track mixtape called A Beat Tape for Your Friends.
Whereas last year’s Cura found them navigating the intersection between hip-hop and dance, this release channels back to their hip-hop roots.

A$AP Rocky has been forced to cancel his upcoming Tomorrowland performances, as well as a number of other gigs, due to his incarceration.
The hip hop artist was recently taken into custody following a fight that unfolded in the streets of Stockholm. Video footage surfaced soon after the incident, which depicted A$AP and his crew as the peacemakers during much of the altercation.
That was, until they found out the two men they were beefing with had sexually harassed a couple of women, thus insti

One thing Apple Music has always been lacking is a web browser — until now.
A group of college students at the University of Kent have constructed a web-based player that runs on Apple Music. Launched just five months ago, Musish has attracted over 200,000 users and counting.
Of course, being that this website is in no way affiliated with Apple Music, it’s reasonable to be skeptical about dishing out your Apple ID for sheer convenience. However, Musish asserts they ca

Ghastly just announced a new album, Haunted House, which he promises is coming soon.
The finished product didn’t come easy, as the producer reveals his laptop was destroyed a while back with the album he was working on. Thankfully, he was able to recover the project files, but was still missing much of the patches and samples that went into his body of work.
This is enough to make any music creator freak out, but Ghastly remained calm and began reworking the tracks. He explains, “I

Electric Daisy Carnival and the marijuana industry go hand-in-hand, according to a new report.
Bob Groesbeck, co-CEO of Planet 13 said business was booming when EDC took over Las Vegas this year. In fact, EDC weekend has become the greatest weekend all year for the city’s marijuana industry.
“We are trying to get a feel of the various events that have come through town and lean more heavily toward cannabis vs. other venues,” Groesbeck said, “and EDC just blew the do

Officially due out tomorrow, REZZ has dropped her next track from Beyond The Senses, “Kiss Of Death” with Deathpact, quite early.
“Kiss Of Death” is the third single from REZZ’s forthcoming EP, following “Falling” with Underoath and “Dark Age.” Rezz has clearly found her sound across two albums and multiple EPs in the past few years, and “Kiss of Death” is no different.
The magic of Rezz’s music, however, doesn’t
